Best of Bridging Philly: Lewy body dementia | New: A women’s sports bar coming to South St.
Lewy body dementia affects over a million people in the United States, but many people don’t know much about it. It’s difficult to diagnose and often misdiagnosed. A new documentary called “Facing the Wind” shines a light on Lewy body dementia, both living with it and caring for someone who has the disease. Racquel Williams talks with Philadelphia filmmaker Tony Heriza and Linda Szypula, who lives in Plymouth Meeting and whose journey caring for her husband is featured in the film.
Scribe Video Center is hosting a screening of “Facing the Wind” on September 18.
Listen to Linda’s podcast, “Lewy Body Roller Coaster”, here.
Then, on Shara in the City, Marsha’s - Philly’s first queer women’s sports bar - is set to open on South Street on September 19. Shara Dae Howard visits with the owner to hear about her inspiration for the bar and what’s to come.
The Lewy body dementia interview was originally released on July 12, 2025.
